All this talk of model bloat, makes me interested in knowing who’s got the lightest car in their current line up. Any ideas?

Some sort of Morgan?

Nothing from Dodge that’s for sure.

the answer as always...
Edit: just found out...the Mirage existed and is quite lighter

I’ll put my money on the Mirage. If it isn’t the lightest, it’s got to be close.

For normal-ish cars, the Mitsubishi Mirage has to be close to the lower limit. Stuff like the Ariel Atom doesn’t really count.

Surely the out-going Smart car has to be the lightest?

smart fortwo. 1,808lb.

Are those still in production for the US?

I’d wager that the Miata is probably up there pretty high.
![]() 09/23/2015 at 18:58 |

Yep.

Can’t get those in the US.

C&D says the 2363lbs for the Fiat 500 Pop. Not too shabby.

Spark or smart car

1,973lbs. curb weight - barely more than my old 1982 Toyota Tercel - which is impressive in a weigh (terrible pun intended).

I think the new one is closer to 2000lbs :/
![]() 09/23/2015 at 19:37 |

Weighs more than the Mirage or the Smart... surprisingly.
![]() 09/23/2015 at 19:37 |
|
But is it really a car?
![]() 09/23/2015 at 19:38 |
|
Nope! The car pictured is a W450 (1,500+ lb). In the USA, you can get a W451 (1,808 lb as Party-vi quoted) and in a few days, a W453 (1,900 lb) will be on sale.

Yet the Viper only gained 13lbs over 20+ years, while gaining a roof.

The amazing thing about this for me is that the Renault Le Car I used to have only weighed about 70lbs. more.

heavier than I would have imagined

It feels more substancial that either one of those, yet still nimble.
![]() 09/23/2015 at 20:30 |

barely.

I never realized how small the Mirage was until I was side by side with one yesterday in my Mom’s Pontiac Vibe. It made it feel huge.

Best when it has a motorbike engine inside.
